[rpd] Co-Chair Election Process

[Daniel Yakmut]

Dear all,
Are we insinuating that only resource holders are part of pdwg. Else, I
don't understand the mention of handle id.

One can see the complications beginning to raise heads.

Simply

Dear all,

Am of the view that we should proceed with the election. The current
environment (inability to vote in person or via show of hands) provides us
with an opportunity to come up with alternative mechanisms which can be
tested and modified accordingly.

If we are faced with another scenario such as this in the future, we won’t
have to go back to the drawing board.

Regarding the “sleeper cells” effect (aptly named by Sami :) ), the
suggestion of a minimum number of posts should suffice. We should also
follow up on the suggestion of always using email IDs associated with the
member's organization as mentioned in previous posts (we could discuss this
plus other alternatives on a separate thread).


Regards,
Murungi Daniel

Dear All,
I strongly believe we are not in a hurry to do anything now. Hence,
allowing a co-chair to extend for another year will not be harmful. Moreso
there was precedent of extension, even in periods that were not as
precarious as now.

I am also sure we are not breaching any Constitutional provisions, if we
have consensus to extend for another year. we hope we will meet physically
next year. By the way we are in the era of "new normal" where changes are
occuring organically.

The option of remote voting may require changes or modifications of the
bylaws, which is more tasking and tedious, and possibly not feasible before
September.

Therefore, I support extension of tenure for another year.

Simply,
Daniel

Dear PDWG community members

The Public Policy Meeting will be on the agenda of the  Africa Internet
Summit 2020 (AIS-20) in September. One PDWG co-chair’s term (one year) will
end during the Public Policy Meeting.

The election process for the PDWG co-chair (please see
https://www.afrinic.net/policy/development-working-group#election for more
details) says that voting shall be by a simple show of hands. However, this
Public Policy meeting shall be held online.

We are therefore requesting feedback from the community on how AFRINIC can
best proceed with the election to fill the vacant seat of one PDP co-chair.
We shall be delighted to receive your proposals for this important matter
and hope we can have a consensus within a week.

Regards,

Eddy

Chers membres de la communauté du PDWG,

La réunion de politique publique sera à l'ordre du jour du Sommet Africain
de l'Internet 2020 (AIS-20) qui se tiendra du 14 au 18 septembre 2020. Le
mandat d'un des coprésidents du PDWG (un an) prendra fin pendant la réunion
de politique publique.

Le processus d'élection du coprésident du PDWG (voir
https://www.afrinic.net/policy/development-working-group#election pour plus
de détails) prévoit que le vote se fera à main levée. Toutefois, cette
réunion de politique publique se tiendra en ligne.

Nous demandons donc à la communauté de nous faire part de ses commentaires
sur la meilleure façon pour AFRINIC de procéder à l'élection pour pourvoir
le siège vacant d'un coprésident du PDP. Nous serons ravis de recevoir vos
propositions sur cette importante question et esperons avoir un consensus
dans une semaine.

Cordialement,

Eddy
